that_o the_o weakness_n of_o the_o heart_n hand_n or_o eye_n of_o very_a know_a physician_n may_v make_v they_o willing_a to_o instruct_v other_o to_o the_o manual_a operation_n in_o physic_n yet_o perhaps_o it_o will_v be_v hard_a to_o believe_v that_o any_o thing_n but_o the_o pride_n and_o laziness_n of_o other_o spawn_v apothecary_n the_o dispensatories_n of_o all_o the_o world_n witness_n

with_o all_o man_n and_o a_o supposition_n of_o improve_n the_o experience_n of_o our_o profession_n be_v the_o first_o motive_n to_o what_o be_v do_v in_o this_o matter_n and_o here_o sir_n give_v i_o leave_v to_o assure_v you_o that_o you_o need_v not_o ask_v the_o pardon_n of_o any_o rational_a physician_n when_o you_o affirm_v that_o physic_n be_v but_o a_o mass_n of_o noble_a experiment_n and_o i_o dare_v with_o confidence_n aver_v no_o man_n can_v at_o this_o time_n name_n one_o physician_n of_o the_o college_n of_o london_n fond_a of_o the_o common_a principle_n in_o the_o

i_o believe_v all_o the_o inspire_a chemist_n that_o labour_n so_o much_o at_o this_o time_n for_o a_o licence_n perhaps_o at_o last_o to_o coin_v will_v never_o be_v able_a with_o their_o join_a
